I've been having the same issue while running this on Windows and Rasbian, although on Raspbian the last line of the error says "shortcode_media.edge_media_to_comment is undefined," but I assume it's the same error.
One thing I've noticed on both environments is that I can run my quickstart.py script without any errors while using my extra IG account - everything runs perfectly fine. But any scripts I try to run with my main IG account will result in these errors. The script fails any time an action is attempted (liking a photo, following, unfollowing, etc.). Not sure of any fixes.

I'm trying to fix the code by myself, i just need to apply the changes suggested by @sionking into like_util.py where the error is thrown. Basically media['edge_media_to_comment']['edges'] needs to be replaced by media['edge_media_preview_comment']['edges']
andreademasi

Here's the fix which is working for now.
In like_util.py in check_link() from line 514 to 609 approximately:
"""Gets the description of the post's link and checks for the dont_like
tags"""
graphql = 'graphql' in post_page[0]
if graphql:
media = post_page[0]['graphql']['shortcode_media']
is_video = media['is_video']
user_name = media['owner']['username']
image_text = media['edge_media_to_caption']['edges']
image_text = image_text[0]['node']['text'] if image_text else None
location = media['location']
location_name = location['name'] if location else None
try:
owner_comments = browser.execute_script('''
latest_comments = window._sharedData.entry_data.PostPage[
0].graphql.shortcode_media.edge_media_to_comment.edges;
if (latest_comments === undefined) {
latest_comments = Array();
owner_comments = latest_comments
.filter(item => item.node.owner.username == arguments[0])
.map(item => item.node.text)
.reduce((item, total) => item + '\\n' + total, '');
return owner_comments;}
else {
return null;}
''', user_name)
except WebDriverException:
owner_comments = browser.execute_script('''
latest_comments = window._sharedData.entry_data.PostPage[
0].graphql.shortcode_media.edge_media_preview_comment.edges;
if (latest_comments === undefined) {
latest_comments = Array();
owner_comments = latest_comments
.filter(item => item.node.owner.username == arguments[0])
.map(item => item.node.text)
.reduce((item, total) => item + '\\n' + total, '');
return owner_comments;}
else {
return null;}
''', user_name)
else:
media = post_page[0]['media']
is_video = media['is_video']
user_name = media['owner']['username']
image_text = media['caption']
try:
owner_comments = browser.execute_script('''
latest_comments = window._sharedData.entry_data.PostPage[
0].graphql.shortcode_media.edge_media_to_comment.edges;
if (latest_comments === undefined) {
latest_comments = Array();
owner_comments = latest_comments
.filter(item => item.node.owner.username == arguments[0])
.map(item => item.node.text)
.reduce((item, total) => item + '\\n' + total, '');
return owner_comments;}
else {
return null;}

except WebDriverException:

return owner_comments;}
else {

''', user_name)
if owner_comments == '':
owner_comments = None
"""Append owner comments to description as it might contain further tags"""
if image_text is None:
image_text = owner_comments
elif owner_comments:
image_text = image_text + '\n' + owner_comments
"""If the image still has no description gets the first comment"""
if image_text is None:
if graphql:
image_text = media['edge_media_preview_comment']['edges']
image_text = image_text[0]['node']['text'] if image_text else None
I've enclosed every occurrence of media['edge_media_to_comment']['edges'] in a try-except, this may be needed in other places too.

brocool
on 11 Jan 2019
There are two places changes must be made (both in like_util.py):
Line 527:
0].graphql.shortcode_media.edge_media_to_comment.edges;
Line 571:
image_text = media['edge_media_to_comment']['edges']
For both of these, change edge_media_to_comment to edge_media_preview_comment. The try-accept method above is probably the best way to do it in a patch, but there should be a way to detect which it is and select the proper name from the start without waiting for a crash to occur.

@sionking @ReagentX Could you guys create a PR for that change, please?
timgrossmann
on 12 Jan 2019
@reagentx thank you so much it worked. can't believe it's that simple. And yes @timgrossmann we should create a PR
brocool
on 12 Jan 2019
@timgrossmann I don’t know that just changing those two lines is the proper fix; I think this is for an A/B test so if I push that fix it will break other accounts. Need to implement a way to find what string to use.
Before I make a PR, can someone confirm for me that this is the case? The only account I work with happens to be in the A/B test. Does the repo currently work with some accounts?
Edit: per some people in Discord, this does not affect all accounts.
ReagentX
on 12 Jan 2019
@ReagentX Thank you for getting back so quickly.
It seems that the option @sionking proposed is suitable for both cases, isn't it?
timgrossmann
on 12 Jan 2019
Possibly, but it won't handle future changes. If you think try… except is appropriate here I don't mind, but I think there should be a way to detect the string that they use so we don't have to add except blocks for every possible future permutation.

changing edge_media_preview_comment doesn't seem to help if you run multiple scripts.
i run 4 of them, one of them runs ok and the other crashing with the same issue.
edit:
after doing the change of edge_media_to_comment to edge_media_preview_comment and changing the code section to include try and except as @andreademasi wrote it solved the issue

Sorry that I am such a newbie, but I don't know how to update it HAHAHA
I tried clicking on "Pull origin" on GitHub Desktop, but then an error message comes out:
"error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
instapy/instapy.py
quickstart.py
Please commit your changes or stash them before you merge.

I'm using it on Windows 7.

Sounds like you have made changes to files that are included in the repository. Rename those two files it listed and try again.
